There are claims the Mayor of London has misled people about the future level of policing in the capital. As Boris Johnson sat in the London Assembly this morning to answer questions about his budget, Labour members claimed he'd got his figures wrong.
They say his plans for policing will actually see a fall, rather than a rise, in police officers in half of London's boroughs. Paul Brand explains.
London's Mayor gives City Hall an outline of his entire plan for the budget of 2013-14 in under two minutes.

From @LondonAssembly on Twitter:Opposition parties in the London Assembly are expected to gang up on Boris Johnson in an historic bid to try to overturn his plans for fare increases and fire station closures. For the first time, Labour, Lib Dem and Green members are expected to agree a joint amendment to the draft budget.
The move requires a majority vote and is likely to be succesful if at least 13 members of the 25-strong assembly join forces.
But the mayor is unlikely to be troubled by the tactic - his original budget is expected to be approved at another meeting on 25th February when the opposition will be unable to muster the required majority of two thirds.
Labour Member of the London Assembly Len Duvall has told ITV News London that Boris needs to do more on housing with the money he has. He claims Boris 'sounds good, but does nothing'.
The Mayor was challenged today over closing some of the capital's police and fire stations.
Labour's London Assembly members gave him a grilling at City Hall and even accused him of targeting closures in Labour's boroughs.
Boris Johnson denied there was any political motive behind closing certain police stations, when he was questioned by London Assembly member, Andrew Dismore.
Labour's Andrew Dismore suggests "political bias" has been used to target fire stations. Labour constituencies are hit hardest. @itvlondon
